The Wind of the North

The wind, free it flies through the lands over the mountains, across the ocean and reaches far away coasts where the grass is green and the water is cold, where the rain falls with the sun. There, in the north, where i left my heart and my hopes... the place i belong to.

First of May 2012 ... no! it was the second of May since the flight arrived after midnight. =)

Before leaving the plane I put on my jacket and went out.
As soon as I stepped out the door of the plane a freezing wind passed through my bones and my soul. Yes because I always felt the cold as a discomfort but this one was like an embrace, I do not know how to explain better but I can tell you that it struck me so much and infact the title of this blog is about that wind.

Went dawn down the stairs and headed for the terminal walking through the empty and windy outside of the airport. Of course there were other people and soon, without knowing how, I was talking with an english girl of about my age, which was shivering like me.
She was talking about to put her feet in warm water but in those moments I did not remembered the meaning of the word "warm" so I struggled to understand that part. I was just so excited to be there.

Once inside the airplane an hostess told me something that I did not understood, but while speaking she also indicated me, with arm gestures, something like "take a seat somewhere overthere" so I walked past the middle of the plane until i found a comfortable place where to sit just next to the window as i wished to, with a lot of space for the legs. =)
The plane was quite empty, about 70% of the seats were empty.
From outside the window i could see the wing with the huge engine attached to it, just next my seat.
The hostesses showed the emergency routine and other general information.
There was also a short italian explanation.
The important thing was to hook the safety belt and turn off cellphones.

After some time of preparation the plane started to taxi slowly in order to reach the landing line for take off.
When it took position, it started to take speed and after a run has taken off!
I was flying for the first time! =D
The plane was lifting fast and soon it was possible to admire all the city lights in the night.
Inside the airplane it seemed like a normal train on railways but watching out the window I was in the clouds! =D

The fly was supposed to be at about 9:30 o'clock. I arrived there early for the depart of the flight, and because of that the check-in were closed. Also, since that was the first time for me, i unknowingly ignored the fact that i should have left my bag there before passing thecontrol point to get inside the airport terminal.
So i held my bag of 14kg with me, thinking that i could have let it later.

Inside the terminal were shops and Fastfood where you could sit and eat.
While waiting, my friend, whom gave me a ride to the train station, called me asking if i had already left my bag at the check-in. My answer was that i was waiting for them to open. But i was unaware of the fact that those were not the check-in but the gate to embark on the plane!

About in April 2012, i was searching for a job at abroad and then i finally found a contact, in the nearby of Loch Ness, provided by an extremely friendly italian woman who lives there in Scotland and which later kindly helped me, through the whole trip.

I had many other reasons to make the choise of departing for Scotland.PS: i will not mention about all the coincidences, unless someone requests it.

All the preparatives were made and, in less than two weeks, i was ready. I bought a Ryanair ticket from the main site and fortunally i found an affordable price by booking two weeks in advance, if i am not wrong it was 10,99 Euro plus 15,00 for the 15kg baggage in the cargo hold.

The day of the departure was getting close and i printed the ticket on an A4 page as in the instructions.

And day after day the first of may came and i was the most happy person in this world. A friend of mine took me at the train station to reach the airport.From there my journey started. =)

domenica 11 agosto 2013

After many years of being tired of non living happy and free as i wished to, i started thinking about what to do for my life and then i asked to myself questions and gave them answers.

From that time i began to pursuit my personal liberation through the developing of mind and body.
I gradually changed any aspect i did not liked about myself, and now, although i know that i still have not totally reached my goal, i am proud of who i am and no one can hurt me anymore.

After i took this decision some coincidences began to happen to me...

PS:i cannot promise you that i will talk about of all the coincidences.
